Chapter 614: Plan B
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
The last time he had played the same trick, and made up the process of the battle. As for the outcome, there wasn’t a need for him to exaggerate further but only to report it truthfully and seriously. He had initially thought he could get rid of Wang Zheng, but his efforts were all in vain. Instead, he had received a warning for his actions. What was important to note was that, even though Bonu had been here for several years, he did not know who was backing Wang Zheng and in fact, Bonu’s actions had caused many people to be unhappy.
Many people were upset?
How could this be? It was definitely a pretext. If you said that the Princess of Aslan was here, he would definitely have believed that there were many concerned individuals. But, who was Wang Zheng to have caused such a huge uproar?
But he knew, Wang Zheng had someone to fall back on. Perhaps his backing wasn’t willing to overtly put in a lot of effort so they probably had attempted to mislead him from the shadows instead. But it was definite that Wang Zheng’s backing was of a higher rank than Bonu. Maybe that individual backing Wang Zheng had a debt that he could not repay openly, and could only do so under the table.
But this young lad was difficult to handle, but he could certainly become an instructor and handle him personally. He had his own merits although he could only take charge of foundation classes. Despite his silliness, Bonu had seen Wang Zheng’s combat abilities, but he had also discovered his weakness. This was also why Wang Zheng was placed in the Huang Class-7, as he fared poorly in his usage of his Ability X.
But it was only a single lesson, he could not be too obvious. Putting the outcomes of the training aside, doing all this was detrimental to him unless he wanted to resign from the Elite Academy. Similarly, it would be an honour if he retired or applied to resign on his own accord. But if he had to get sacked due to disciplinary actions, it would be a bad stain on his records.
Bonu clapped his hands reluctantly, “Wang Zheng’s performance was spectacular, and so was Kendis’. In training, what matters the most is not the final results, but the process. We are focusing on the cohesion between the mech and one’s Ability X. In this aspect, Kendis fared better. He had made use of his gravitation abilities to improve on his attacks, and this is what we should be taking away from the training. Everyone, give a round of applause to the two of them who did well!”
Everyone applauded generously, as both of them had clearly showed their understanding of the Golden Wheel Battle King through this battle.
Zhang Shan was unhappy, “What? How can you say it like this! Strongly maneuvering the mech is also an application of skill. What kind of nonsense is this? This instructor must be blind.”
Yan Ge laughed, “Why are you so anxious, Wang Zheng isn’t even angry. Besides, everyone can see for themselves. What Instructor Bonu said isn’t wrong either, our main focus was the cohesion between the mech and one’s Ability X. And besides, one cannot possibly kill Kendis in one blow. After all, we are all classmates. If you lose, would you want people to further insult you?”
Zhang Shan rolled his eyes, “What bullsh*t. One may steal a horse, while another may not look over the hedge. If Wang Zheng had lost, Bonu would not have said it this way.”
Yan Ge laughed, but she was shocked by Wang Zheng’s combat abilities. It was intimidating that he had attained such high levels even without the use of his Ability X. And she had to admit that his understanding of the Golden Wheel Battle King was indeed outstanding.
Kendis had finally composed himself. He did not bring shame to his family, but quickly lowered his head. After all, he had lost the match and he wasn’t that shameless.
Wang Zheng was nonchalant about it. He was about to leave, but was called up by Bonu.
“Wang Zheng, you stay back. The Elite Academy’s training focuses mainly on the use of Ability X on one’s mech. Maybe you didn’t have the chance to show it earlier, so for the next lesson, you can take the lead and demonstrate to the others.”
An instructor has to fulfil his duties, regardless of one’s willingness.
But in reality, Wang Zheng was extremely willing to do so.
Bonu paused, “The next model of mech is very different from the Golden Wheel Battle King. Introducing the Overlord fighter, Arbiter’s standard military mech. This is an interesting mech model. Its unique point is that it was easy to pilot, has outstanding capabilities, and stellar performance when utilising Ability X. Of course, the Overlord mech has its own weaknesses too. It is impulsive. The Sky Rocket Cannon is one of those rare long distance displacement equipment that can be used for offensive support. It can also be used to exit the battlefield, but when used inappropriately, it can possibly endanger oneself or lead to the abandonment of one’s combat comrades.”
Everyone was extremely familiar with this model of mecha from the Arbiter Republic, it was incredibly famous. It had great capabilities, yet it was easy to control. This was the unique point about Arbiter’s mecha, violent and brutal. On the other hand, it was a little rough, but the mech’s performance with one’s Ability X was indeed spectacular. This was shown through Olivios’s performance at the IG. When the Overlord was in his hands, it was as though he was invincible.
“Today’s aim is to let everyone experience the effects of combining one’s Ability X with the mech through an actual battle. As students of the X Elite College, everyone has to maximise the powers of their respective Ability X, so as to progress further!” Bonu righteously said.
Wang Zheng couldn’t help it but touched his nose, feeling helpless as he was just an innocent bystander.
Wang Zheng had used the Overlord a few times. Honestly speaking, the mech was not very complicated. But it was ideal for small team attacks. It did not require much fanciful controls to produce enormous power for battle. It was more suitable for warriors who were more intelligent and steady in their piloting. If not, the slightest impulsiveness would bring unpredictable disasters for the team.
“Who wants to try this mech? Of course, you’ll have to demonstrate whatever I’ve mentioned earlier.” Bonu said with an encouraging smile. As for Wang Zheng who had been left at one side, he had become Bonu’s present target.
You guys think this is insane isn’t it! Don’t you know this is the Elite Academy X. All the Elites are here!
“Instructor, will Wang Zheng use the Golden Wheel Battle King, or...?”
One of the students asked.
This question was quite impressive. Bonu could have exaggerated but Wang Zheng’s achievements on the Golden Wheel Battle King had left these students perturbed. The issue was, lacking the necessary requirements, and having no chance of winning, no one was willing to be his target.
“Of course it’s the Overlord mech. The key focus of today’s lesson is to understand the use of one’s Ability X on the mech, through a direct comparison and battle. ”
Bonu responded frankly.
Everyone smiled brightly, and became very eager. It was obvious that Wang Zheng was skilled with smart models, with little technical controls. At most, this match was just about one’s awareness and Ability X. Everyone had a rather good sense of awareness, and besides, this wasn’t a very complicated situation. Hence, there wasn’t a need for a keen sense of awareness and the ability to see the big picture. It was dependent on one’s Ability X, and since Wang Zheng was assigned to Huang Class-7, it could only meant that his Ability X was lacking.
Here came an opportunity!
At this moment, there were tens of students who had raised their hands.
Wang Zheng was speechless. When did he have so many enemies? Looking at their excited faces, it was as though he was a delicacy ready to be devoured.
Bonu scanned through the masses who raised their hands. He definitely had to find someone he could trust to go against Wang Zheng. He had wanted to teach Wang Zheng a lesson in front of everyone else when he lost, so that he could not lift his head high up among the students. This was a conspiracy!
“Takra, come forward.”
Takra, from the Astina Federation, Huang Class 2. At a height of slightly over two metres, he was like a small mountain. He was considered to be the top performing student in the Huang Class 2, but he was a troublemaker. He wasn’t a new student, and in fact he was warned several times by the school about his wrongdoings. On the other hand, his ability was unquestionable.
Bonu acted as if nothing had happened, but he had already exchanged glances with Takra.
